| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
